Marcy usually refunds part of the shipping costs. She says that the software that is used for her site works well for her except for the shipping cost price listing. I've ordered from her repeatedly for several years and have always paid less for shipping than what her site initially charges for shipping. She's on the west coast and I'm on the east coast so distance isn't an issue within the US.

If you're concerned about international shipping costs, just send her an email for an estimate and more information.

Her fabric is terrific. I always get complements on garments made from her fabrics and I've never been disappointed by what I've purchased.

I just found this July 2012 discussion on the boards here where Marcy herself replied about her shipping costs: http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/sewingclasses/board.pl?t=70439

You can just put "tilton" in the search box under the "home" tab on this page and select "boards" instead of "patterns" from the drop down menu to get a live link to the discussion. Scroll down for Marcy's reply.
